Dumplings, crullers & Co.
In Salzburg you definitely have to enjoy sweet classics like Salzburger Nockerl (sweet soufflé), Bauernkrapfen (crullers) or Moosbeermuas (bluberry dessert). Other typical dishes are Erdäpfelnidei (fried finger-shaped potato dumplings), Gröstl (roasted meat with potatoes), Bosna (Austrian hot dog) and Kasnockn (cheese dumplings). Even more traditional is the Schottsuppe (cheese soup). Schotten has become a rare dairy product and is made of buttermilk and cream. In former times it was a dish for poorer people, but today the cuisine of Salzburg can’t be imagined without it.
Alpine cuisine
Alpine farmers’ products like the Pinzgauer Beef, Tauern rye, Lungauer Eachtling (potato), hay milk and cheese as well as game, sheep and goat specialties should be part of every Salzburg cuisine. The close cooperation between restaurants and agriculture plays an important role. The love for old cooking techniques and traditional recipes as well as ingredients has been handed down since generations and also the partnerships to regional businesses are cultivated.
